Solution :

To find the instantaneous power, we can use the relationship between force, velocity, and power.

First, let's identify the given quantities from the problem:
The displacement of the particle, x=2t-1 (in meters)
The constant force acting on the particle, F=5 N

The velocity v of the particle is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time t. We can find v by differentiating the displacement function:
v=dxdt=ddt(2t-1)
v=2 m/s

The instantaneous power P is defined as the dot product of the force and the velocity vectors. Since the motion is in one dimension, it is simply the product of the force and velocity:
P=F·v

Substitute the given values of force and velocity into the formula:
P=5·2=10 W

Therefore, the value of the instantaneous power is 10 in SI units (Watts).
